Default Shocks

I'd like to replace my shocks all around, I believe I have the OEM ones in there (184K).

Anyone have a good recommendation? Stock height and tire sizes, no offroading. Just normal MN driving

Thanks,
Ryan

You happen to have part numbers for the 4? LOL, there are a lot of shock options on Rock Auto! I had no idea.

I just put air shocks on mine, took about a half hour to fully install. I suspect regular shocks will go faster without all of the air lines. Only problem i had was the bolts were very rusty and my spare had to be lowered for the top bolts

Thanks, sounds pretty easy then. I should maybe get new bolts, as I'm guessing mine are pretty rusty too.
